“Planuhin ang biyahe, mag-ingat sa pagmamaneho, at manatiling nakatutok sa mahahalagang impormasyon kaugnay sa lagay ng panahon (Plan your travel, be careful in driving, and stay tuned on important weather updates),” the agency advised.

Meanwhile, the Malacañang on Friday morning ordered government offices and schools in Metro Manila, Zambales, Bataan, Bulacan, Pampanga, Tarlac, Nueva Ecija, Cavite, Batangas, Rizal, Laguna, Quezon, and Occidental Mindoro to shift to alternative arrangements on Friday due to the habagat. /mr
